Once you have opened an email there the pencil icon is for me between the
trash and the blah blah blah button

You can move it wherever you want, and re-size when not docked
(uncheck "Allow docking" to prevent re-sticking to window edges)

I also move the "tabs" to top or bottom, making larger tabs
with visible text labels, and giving more room to widen window,
to read the vastly entertaining messages which flash by :)

It always has an [x] somewhere, which can be clicked to close it;
then it will not re-appear until next time activated.

If you "float" it, then Ctrl+W etc. can also close it from keyboard,
and also if you decide to work on other stuff
while background task proceeds (which IIRC wasn't possible on v3),
then "floating" turns off the "always on top"
and allows your other mailbox & message windows to be raised instead,
so you can see what you're working on :)

My Task Window won't appear on "Send" (in v7 only) unless I first
click that "Status" bar square, however (YMMV, as I said).

Another quirk is that you can still "stop" a "Receive" task
from the Task window, but you can't now (7.1) stop a "Send" task
from the Task window.

Once again, the only way to stop a "Send" is to right-click
that same square in the "Status" bar to stop *all* tasks, hence
many things are lost (including useful hints, active link URLs,
and the only visible "overwrite" indicator OVR)
if the "Status" bar is turned off -- perhaps reconsider that?

Incoming messages have the "pencil" (edit this message) tool
by default (but this is configurable, so could get turned off);
outgoing messages are not editable, except via "send again,"
which copies to a new message and can be retained forever
without actually clicking "Send" -- tricks can be used to prevent
accidental sending, including either a third-party plug-in
or simply "Bcc: x@x@x" (assuming SMTP server will then refuse it)

BTW, editing of incoming is now "body only" by default
("Subject" seen in incoming mailbox summary is also editable,
as in v3, being actually a copy in the "table of contents" file,
rather than from the original message).

Also on all incoming messages by default, unless turned off.

Also from "air" guns?

How do you turn it off and on?

Try:
If you have 2 @ signs in the address it may not work correctly,
try replacing the first @ sign with a percent sign (%) or a colon (:).
